    This ones my fave: https://amiunique.org/fingerprint

    It shows the percentages of people who use your same browser features (called similarity ratios), and can determine whether you’re unique in their dataset. Can help for tweaking browser settings to try to make yourself not unique.

      Is there no add on, for Firefox, for example, to stop or confuse fingerprinting?

      Any suggestions?

      For Android.

      that’s pretty comprehensive, and similarity ratios show how easy it is to create a unique fingerprint for somebody if you hash a few of these metrics together for example.

      i used to think that firefox on linux and as plain-jane-generic as you could get besides windows; but no, i’m ultra unique:

      Yes! You are unique among the 5084762 fingerprints in our entire dataset.

        They basically asked for your name, birth date, and mother’s maiden name, and your browser just gave it to them and offered even more.
